Frequently asked questions about the GeForce RTX 4060
Which power supply does the GeForce RTX 4060 need?
Card TDP: 115 W. We recommend a PSU of at least 450 W from a quality maker (Seasonic, Corsair, be quiet!, Cooler Master). Cheap PSUs without 80+ Gold can cause reboots under load.
How much VRAM does the GeForce RTX 4060 have?
VRAM: 8 GB GDDR6. Memory bus: 128 bit. For modern AAA games at 1440p+ with RT effects, this may not be enough.
Is the GeForce RTX 4060 good for 4K gaming?
Depends on expectations. In current AAA games at 4K@ultra: not recommended — better used at 1440p or 1080p.
Which is better: the GeForce RTX 4060 or the Radeon RX 6800M?
We have a detailed comparison: GeForce RTX 4060 vs Radeon RX 6800M. The short answer depends on your needs: NVIDIA is better in some games, the rival in others. Also factor in price and supported technologies.
Does the GeForce RTX 4060 support DLSS or FSR?
Yes, the GeForce RTX 4060 supports DLSS (NVIDIA's AI upscaling). DLSS 3 Frame Generation is also available to generate extra frames. FSR is supported too, but on NVIDIA, DLSS usually looks better.
Which CPU pairs best with the GeForce RTX 4060?
To avoid a CPU bottleneck, for the GeForce RTX 4060 we recommend: Ryzen 5 7600 / Core i5-12400 / Ryzen 5 5600 — for 1080p / 1440p without overspending.
How loud is the GeForce RTX 4060?
FPSHQ does not measure noise; it depends on the cooler of a specific version (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, Palit, PNY, etc.). Official power is 115 W — low: there is little heat, so even compact versions can run quietly. Models are compared by power on the “Quietest graphics cards” page.
What are the GeForce RTX 4060's length and slot size?
Dimensions depend on the specific vendor model. Reference versions are usually 2.5–3.5 slots and 28–32 cm long. ASUS ROG / MSI Suprim X / Gigabyte AORUS — up to 3.5–4 slots and 32–36 cm. Before buying, check that the card fits your case (especially in Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX builds).
Can the GeForce RTX 4060 be overclocked?
Yes, via MSI Afterburner or GPU Tweak III you can raise the Core Clock by 100–200 MHz and the Memory Clock by 500–1500 MHz with little risk. The FPS gain is usually 3–7%. For safe overclocking, set the power limit to max, raise clocks gradually and test stability in OCCT/3DMark.
Will the GeForce RTX 4060 still be relevant in 2027–2028?
Depends on the card's class. B-class cards will be pushed to medium settings in new AAA games within 2–3 years. That is normal — just keep it in mind when buying.
Where is the best place to buy the GeForce RTX 4060?
The lowest prices are usually during big sales (11.11, Cyber Monday, Black Friday). On marketplaces prices swing a lot — look for sellers rated 4.5+. Classified-ad platforms with store warranty are for those willing to risk it for 15–20% off MSRP. Use our prices section to track discounts.
